As a first time traveler in Thailand, staying at the Menam Riverfront Residence, hosted by June and Pop, was such an incredible experience. I feel very fortunate to have found such accommodating hosts. The place was everything I could have asked for in terms of comfort, safeness, convenience, and entertainment. I had an overnight plane arrival, and my plane was delayed to 2:30am. Pop was patient and accommodating to pick me up, at such a great price/ small fee, when compared to the taxi. Also, June and Pop were very informative ahead of time to answer any questions pertaining to my itinerary. Thanks to him, I fulfilled my itinerary plans in my short 3 day visit to Bangkok. If things couldn't go any better, Pop was willing to watch and care for my luggage as I concluded my last excursions before leaving the city.
The place: Great 1 bedroom studio with a beautiful view of the skyline and Chao River. You can go up to the 41st floor and see a 360 view of the city. Everything is up to date, and the posted pictures do not lie about the place. The apartment is right by the Chao River, and you can take a free ferry to the central, Sathorn, pier. Taking the ferries to see any tourist attraction/ excursions is a convenience and a must. The location has Asiatique mall, which is 5 min away walking. Meter taxi, bus, tuk-tuk and ferry all right up front. The infinity pools were clean and most of the time secluded. The pool wraps its way around the complex. The amenities to the place go up and beyond. In addition to all basic necessities, Pop and June also provided snacks, juice, tea, and water. There are pots, dishes, washer and dryer, microwave, stove, fridge, and a self heating kettle for convenience.
In my opinion, If you're an international traveler, this place is the best spot in Bangkok!
